What a lovely place. We throughly enjoyed our stay - ideal location for getting the tram to a number of favourite vineyards. Everywhere in town is walking distance - perfect for leaving your car and enjoy the wines. An extra mention of praise is the staff, my fiancée left her glasses behind and they made the effort to return them safely by post.

Comfortable and quiet hotel: easy walking into town, especially for the tram - there is a hill but fine if you’re able to walk.

Friendly stay in Franschhoek
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The only gripe was that we were expecting a balcony room but instead had a rather dark room on the ground floor, not aided by load shedding at various points in the day. Breakfast was delicious, and bed was very comfy, would stay there again.

Where did the glowing reviews come from?
Our stay at Gable Manor was very disappointing. We received no check-in instructions (despite being promised 24 hours before arrival) and arrived to find the property locked, deserted, and unreachable by any contact number or emergency line. After nearly three hours waiting outside, a neighbour helped us reach someone to let us in.
We were never formally checked in, the Wi-Fi didn’t work, and the in-room safe had no key. The gate fob failed, and the aircon was set to heat at 26°C. Breakfast was poor — mouldy fruit, limited options, dirty tables, and most food unavailable by the second day.
The property was misrepresented, poorly maintained, and unhygienic. Not up to Hotels.com standards — we’ve requested a refund and cannot recommend this stay.

On arrival we were advised that there would be Eskom load shedding for 2hrs from 20:00, which is nothing unusual in SA. Most unusual was to discover that no provision had been made for the convenience of guests - lamps, torches or emergency generator supplies. Fortunately we had our own torches. This was the only negative occurrence, the proprty was spotlessly clean, breakfast appetising, staff helpful and the pool and garden inviting.

Aardig, maar wees alert welke kamer je krijgt.
Helaas was slechts kamer 3 voor ons beschikbaar en deze kamer had totaal geen uitzicht. Dat viel voor een verblijf in Franschhoek erg tegen. De omschrijving “de luxe kamer” ontging ons. Ondanks eerdere reviews met een opmerking over het gemis van een koelkastje op de kamer is hier niets mee gedaan, geen koelkast dus. We mochten wel een kleine ruimte in de koelkast van het management gebruiken. Ik vermoed dat we best wel een andere kamer hadden gekregen als deze beschikbaar was geweest, helaas was dat niet mogelijk omdat het vol was. Be sure to avoid room 3! Wel een gunstige ligging t.o.v. de Wine Tram halte. Het zwembad was niet zo appetijtelijk en de stoelen er om heen waren bedekt met smoezelige handdoeken.
